tijuana, mexico

i took my grandmother down to tijuana twice to see her dentist.  many people go across the border to get their teeth worked on because the prices are way cheaper and the quality of the work is just as good if not better then what one would get in america from an american dentist.
the first time we went, we drove down to the border, parked the car at the last usa exit and got on a bus that took us over the border to the bus depot where the dentist picked us up in his nice black car.  he drove us to his office, did the work and took us back to the depot where we got back on the bus and drove back across the border to our car.
the second time we went, we accidently missed the last usa exit and drove our car into tijuana which was quite exciting.  luckily the dentist had a fast pass for us to use to get back across the border because it would have taken us up to 4 hours of sitting in the lines of cars waiting to cross the border. with the fast pass it took about 15 minutes. both visits were quite short but very fun and i took some photos to share here.
